## API Reference

This component is based on the `button` element and supports [common margin props](/themes/docs/overview/layout#margin-props).

<ThemesPropsTable defs="buttonPropDefs" />

## Examples

### Size

Use the `size` prop to control the size of the button.

```jsx live=true
<Flex gap="3" align="center">
	<Button size="1" variant="soft">
		Edit profile
	</Button>
	<Button size="2" variant="soft">
		Edit profile
	</Button>
	<Button size="3" variant="soft">
		Edit profile
	</Button>
</Flex>
```

### Variant

Use the `variant` prop to control the visual style of the button.

```jsx live=true scroll=true
<Flex align="center" gap="3">
	<Button variant="classic">Edit profile</Button>
	<Button variant="solid">Edit profile</Button>
	<Button variant="soft">Edit profile</Button>
	<Button variant="surface">Edit profile</Button>
	<Button variant="outline">Edit profile</Button>
</Flex>
```

#### Ghost

Use the `ghost` variant to display a button without chrome. Ghost buttons behave like text in layout, as they use a negative margin to optically align themselves against their siblings while maintaining the padding in active and hover states.

```jsx live=true
<Button variant="ghost">Edit profile</Button>
```

### Color

Use the `color` prop to assign a specific [color](/themes/docs/theme/color).

```jsx live=true scroll=true
<Flex gap="3">
	<Button color="indigo" variant="soft">
		Edit profile
	</Button>
	<Button color="cyan" variant="soft">
		Edit profile
	</Button>
	<Button color="orange" variant="soft">
		Edit profile
	</Button>
	<Button color="crimson" variant="soft">
		Edit profile
	</Button>
</Flex>
```

### High-contrast

Use the `highContrast` prop to increase color contrast with the background.

```jsx live=true scroll=true
<Flex direction="column" gap="3">
	<Flex gap="3">
		<Button color="gray" variant="classic">
			Edit profile
		</Button>
		<Button color="gray" variant="solid">
			Edit profile
		</Button>
		<Button color="gray" variant="soft">
			Edit profile
		</Button>
		<Button color="gray" variant="surface">
			Edit profile
		</Button>
		<Button color="gray" variant="outline">
			Edit profile
		</Button>
	</Flex>
	<Flex gap="3">
		<Button color="gray" variant="classic" highContrast>
			Edit profile
		</Button>
		<Button color="gray" variant="solid" highContrast>
			Edit profile
		</Button>
		<Button color="gray" variant="soft" highContrast>
			Edit profile
		</Button>
		<Button color="gray" variant="surface" highContrast>
			Edit profile
		</Button>
		<Button color="gray" variant="outline" highContrast>
			Edit profile
		</Button>
	</Flex>
</Flex>
```

### Radius

Use the `radius` prop to assign a specific radius value.

```jsx live=true scroll=true
<Flex gap="3">
	<Button radius="none" variant="soft">
		Edit profile
	</Button>
	<Button radius="large" variant="soft">
		Edit profile
	</Button>
	<Button radius="full" variant="soft">
		Edit profile
	</Button>
</Flex>
```

### With icons

You can nest icons directly inside the button. An appropriate gap is provided automatically.

```jsx live=true scroll=true
<Flex gap="3">
	<Button variant="classic">
		<BookmarkIcon /> Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button variant="solid">
		<BookmarkIcon /> Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button variant="soft">
		<BookmarkIcon /> Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button variant="surface">
		<BookmarkIcon /> Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button variant="outline">
		<BookmarkIcon /> Bookmark
	</Button>
</Flex>
```

### Loading

Use the `loading` prop to display a loading spinner in place of button content, preserving the original size of the button in its normal state. The button will be disabled while loading.

```jsx live=true scroll=true
<Flex gap="3">
	<Button loading variant="classic">
		Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button loading variant="solid">
		Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button loading variant="soft">
		Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button loading variant="surface">
		Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button loading variant="outline">
		Bookmark
	</Button>
</Flex>
```

If you have an icon inside the button, you can use the button’s `disabled` state and wrap the icon in a standalone [Spinner](/themes/docs/components/spinner) to achieve a more sophisticated design.

```jsx live=true scroll=true
<Flex gap="3">
	<Button disabled variant="classic">
		<Spinner loading>
			<BookmarkIcon />
		</Spinner>
		Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button disabled variant="solid">
		<Spinner loading>
			<BookmarkIcon />
		</Spinner>
		Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button disabled variant="soft">
		<Spinner loading>
			<BookmarkIcon />
		</Spinner>
		Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button disabled variant="surface">
		<Spinner loading>
			<BookmarkIcon />
		</Spinner>
		Bookmark
	</Button>
	<Button disabled variant="outline">
		<Spinner loading>
			<BookmarkIcon />
		</Spinner>
		Bookmark
	</Button>
</Flex>
```
